A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Hepatitis b virus (HBV) related acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a serious condition with high mortality rate in China. But there still lacks of effective therapies in treatment of HBV related ACLF, except liver transplantation. Non-bioartificial liver support system treatments may be effective due to previous clinical data. Plasma exchange (PE) and double plasma molecular adsorption system (DPMAS) are two common ways in clinical practice. This study is to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of combination treatment of DPMAS and low volume PE in patients with HBV related ACLF. This study will be completed in 6 medical center. Two hundred patients with HBV related ACLF enrolled in this study are divided into trial group (DPMAS, low volume PE, and comprehensive internal medical treatment) and control group (comprehensive internal medical treatment). Symptoms, signs, laboratory tests results, adverse events, mortality rates are recorded from treatment baseline to 12 weeks.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Artificial liver support system group
100 patients in this group will receive treatment of double plasma molecular adsorption system, low volume plasma exchange, and comprehensive internal medical treatment
Other: Artificial liver support system
Patients will receive treatment of double plasma molecular adsorption system (DPMAS) and low volume plasma exchange (PE) for three times, and comprehensive internal medical treatment. The volume of plasma adsorption in DPMAS is 5000~6000 millilitre. The volume of fresh frozen plasma used in PE is 1000 millilitre.
Comprehensive medical treatment group
100 patients in this group will receive comprehensive internal medical treatment.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mortality or liver transplantation rate
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Mortality or liver transplantation rate at 12-week follow-up.
12 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score variation
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Variation of MELD score at 12 weeks after treatment. MELD score = 9.57 × loge(creatinine mg/dl) + 3.78 × loge(TBIL mg/dl) + 11.20 × loge(PT-INR) + 6.43.
